Special effects studios


Special effects studios are responsible for creating believable creatures, making another world we have never seen before, and or a multitude of other illusions. The most recognized company in the film industry to accomplish these tasks is know as Industrial Light and Magic.

Industrial Light and Magic was created by George Lucas after he found out that 20th Century Fox had closed their doors on their own special effects studio. Lucas found himself in an awkward situation especially it happening after getting the go ahead to start his Star Wars movie. He decided to create his own company ILM or Industrial Light and Magic.

The company has created dozens of effects for several other movies over the years since 1975. Their latest work was on the film Iron Man due in theaters soon.
